Maybe ... I just got my SiS 6326 video card configured and it only
works with the no_accel option :-(. Some things, like gnumeric,
scroll just fine. gvim, however, is quite sluggish when scrolling. I
have access to a 'doze box with XWin32 so I tried gvim xhosted to the
'doze box and it behaved just fine.
Maybe X4 will work better...
